Helldivers II has been revealed at the 2023 PlayStation Showcase, developed by Arrowhead Games Studios and published by PlayStation. The game will launch later this year.

The game was announced alongside a new Starship Troopers-esque trailer which you can watch below:

PlayStation Blog has released further information about the game:

“Freedom. Peace. Managed Democracy. Your Super Earth-born rights. The key pillars of our civilization. These are under attack from deadly alien civilizations, conspiring to destroy the Super Earth and its values”.

“You’ll step into the boots of an elite class of soldiers whose mission is to spread peace, liberty, and Managed Democracy using the biggest, baddest, and most explosive tools in the galaxy. Team up with up to four friends and wreak havoc on the alien scourge that threatens the safety of your home, Super Earth. The Helldivers must take on the role of galactic peacekeepers in this Galactic War and protect their home planet, spread the message of Democracy, and liberate the hostiles by force”.

Helldivers II is also confirmed to require internet as well as a PlayStation Plus connection to play on PS5.

The original Helldivers was a highly acclaimed 2015 top-down co-op shooter that saw you act as a soldier protecting Super Earth in an intergalactic war.

Helldivers II will be launching for PS5 and PC in 2023.
